The Red Letters is a poignant tale of Ved Mehta's discovery of
his father's love affair with a married woman in the 1930s.
As he begins his quest to unravel a family mystery, Mehta is
forced to confront his father's clandestine relationship with
the beautiful Rasil. Mehta's voyage into his father's past is
both revealing and painful, as the son finds out that his father's
affair, a brief episode in a loving marriage of sixty-one years,
had a devastating effect on his mother—a close friend of
Rasil's—as well as on his own life.
This one is an exquisitely written story that unravels truths
through its compelling reconstruction of the author's family history.
The Red Letters is the eleventh and final book in Ved Mehta's
acclaimed Continents of Exile autobiographical series.
